Hello 👋 for those who don't know me, I'm Carissa, welcome to Cooking with Care! 👩🍳
I just wanted to share a little moment of gratitude to start off our week 🥰
I started Cooking with Care in January because I've seen so many families and children miss out on extra curricular opportunities simply because the necessary supports were not available. I so strongly believe that every child should have the opportunity to not only participate but to thrive in what they enjoy.
I grew up cooking and baking with my parents and grandparents and it was one of the most memorable things of my childhood, and I recognize that this may not be possible for all families. It can be challenging, unsafe, and extremely messy if your child may have different support needs, which can turn cooking from a fun bonding activity into a major chore.
My goal is to change this. Make cooking fun, for everyone. Teach transferable skills, and create comfort and confidence in the kitchen.
Without the support of my friends and family, our volunteers, and all of our families who register, follow our accounts or speak highly of us, none of this would be possible. I am so grateful for all of you and to have this opportunity and continue to grow ❤️
